Iowa Figure Skating Needs Your Help
Since mid-2024, Metro Ice Arena has been closed to skaters due to a breakdown in equipment. Iowa Figure Skating no longer has home ice to train its skaters or hold events. Ice time in the Des Moines metro is very hard to come by and can be expensive.
Iowa Figure Skating is looking for potential partners or sponsors to work with the owners of Metro Ice Arena for maintenance to the arena so it can reopen for ice sports.
During this difficult time, donations to the club would be greatly appreciated. If interested in donating, please see the Venmo below.
Thank you,
Iowa Figure Skating Coaches and Parents
Congratulations are in Order!
